In response to the media exposure of the “State Reserve Bank into a large number of genetically modified rapeseed oil” news. Last night, China Grain Reserve Management Corporation issued a notice on its website that two enterprises in Hubei and Hunan were found to have violated the acquisition policy by mixing 1,477 tons of imported rapeseed oil into the temporary storage inventory. At present, the above two enterprises involved in the temporary storage of rapeseed have all withdrawn from the temporary storage inventory. Recently, a media report said, “In 2013, the state launched the market purchase policy for rapeseed, and the purchase volume of rapeseed was 5 million tons, equivalent to about 1.667 million tons of rapeseed oil. However, enterprises in Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan and other places reflected that, because each ton of imported genetically modified rapeseed and rapeseed oil to be cheaper than the domestic non-genetically modified rapeseed, rapeseed oil were cheaper than 500 yuan and more than 1,000 yuan, a number of entrusted enterprises given the qualification of the consignment purchase, the use of imported cheaper rapeseed oil to pretend to be domestically produced rapeseed oil to be handed over to the State Reserve Bank, from which they earn the difference in price.” Response Two enterprises illegally mixed with imported rapeseed oil The China National Grain and Cereals Corporation (CNGC) said in the briefing that since the end of August, CNGC has carried out a comprehensive verification of the implementation of the policy on the acquisition of canola oil in the provisional storage through acceptance inspections and special inspections. The inspection found a total of three aspects in Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan provinces, involving 16 enterprises. Among them, in violation of the acquisition policy, the imported rapeseed oil mixed into the temporary storage inventory of two enterprises, Hubei, an enterprise mixed into 994 tons of imported rapeseed oil, Hunan, an enterprise mixed into 483 tons, two enterprises are commissioned storage enterprises. At present, the above two enterprises involved in rapeseed oil have all withdrawn from the temporary storage inventory, the local grain administrative departments have also been penalized. CGRS will seriously pursue responsibility. The inspection also found that the implementation of the acquisition policy was not strict, and the basic management was weak and irregular. In response to these problems, China Food Storage is studying and formulating corrective measures, and disciplinary violations involving enterprises directly under China Food Storage will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the rules. Provisions Imported rapeseed oil is prohibited from entering the state reserve In order to protect the interests of farmers, to ensure the basic stability of edible oil market supply and prices, and to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the edible oil industry, on May 23 this year, according to the spirit of the State Council’s relevant approvals, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State Administration of Grain, the Ministry of Finance, the Agricultural Development Bank of China issued the “On the Effective Implementation of the 2013 National Temporary Storage of Rapeseed (Oil) Notice on the Acquisition Work of 2013 State Temporary Storage Rapeseed (Oil)” (State Grain Transfer [2013] No. 117). The Circular clearly stipulates that “processing of imported rapeseed for storage as national temporary storage oil is strictly prohibited”. In the acquisition process, the China National Grain Storage Corporation will also be the focus of policy implementation and supervision, strictly prohibit the commissioned enterprises imported rapeseed processing of temporary storage oil, and the provisions of the violation of the enterprise to take the abolition of the qualification of storage, recovery of undue profits, included in the “blacklist” and other measures. Explain 1, why should be mixed with imported genetically modified rapeseed oil? Cheap oil filled with domestic oil to earn a price difference Due to the national mandatory requirements for the production of genetically modified cooking oil labeling of fat composition, edible oil companies generally can not risk adding genetically modified rapeseed oil. However, some of the upstream consignment purchase enterprises may mix imported rapeseed oil into domestically produced rapeseed oil. In 2013, the state launched the canola consignment purchase policy, and the volume of canola purchased was 5 million tons, equivalent to about 1.667 million tons of canola oil. But because each ton of imported genetically modified rapeseed and rapeseed oil than domestic non-genetically modified rapeseed, rapeseed oil were cheaper than 500 yuan and more than 1,000 yuan, a number of entrusted enterprises were given the qualification of the purchase of the market, the use of imports of cheap rapeseed oil posing as domestic rapeseed oil to be handed over to the State Reserve Bank, to earn the difference in price. Consumers consume this “not pure” non-GMO vegetable oil, which involves commercial fraud. 2, the consequences of illegal genetically modified oil into the national reserve? Imported rapeseed oil will contaminate domestic rapeseed oil Before 2002, rapeseed oil in China’s total consumption of vegetable oils had ranked first, and then with the increase in imports, rapeseed oil consumption to second place; since 2006, due to the increase in the number of China’s imports of palm oil, rapeseed oil has become the third largest domestic consumption of oil. Especially in the Yangtze River Basin provinces, including Yunnan, Guizhou and other places consumers prefer rapeseed oil, not only flavorful, from the health point of view than soybean oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Genetically modified rapeseed oil into the state reserves in large quantities, will cause out of the state reserves of rapeseed oil is genetically modified rapeseed oil “contamination”, the enterprise from the state reserves to buy rapeseed oil and produce small packages of rapeseed oil will be difficult to re-labeled as non-genetically modified rapeseed oil. On the other hand, some enterprises not only store oil and grease on behalf of the State Reserve, but also process edible oil themselves. The huge profits brought by the import of genetically modified rapeseed oil will inevitably make some enterprises take the risk of producing the so-called “non-GMO” small-package rapeseed oil with domestic rapeseed oil mixed with genetically modified rapeseed oil for profit.
